If you know me in person, you know I like to read a LOT of articles online. I am a news junkie. I use feedly (after Google Reader bit the dust), an RSS service that collects the recent posts of all my favorite blogs into one page for convenient reading. I follow over 100 blogs and news sources, anything from world politics reports to recipes, and if I don't get through ~500 blurbs a day, it starts to add up. I was away for the weekend and my current to-read (well, to look at and decide if I want to read the whole article) is over 2.500. Yeah. And I hate marking something as read if I haven't read it... There could be something interesting in there that I could miss!
But I digress. I'm introducing a (hopefully weekly) list of articles that tickle my fancy and I want to share with someone. Let's just do this. If you're really interested in what I read, look at my media fingerprint. This comes from an extension I have added to Google Chrome, it analyses the articles I read and then sends me biweekly suggestions of articles they think I'll like. I've only had one email from them, but I think it is awesome so far. The graph in the following link is especially cool. Yay, data!
An interesting profile of the beloved brand Sriracha- Quartz. They don't spend any money on advertising, so how is this sauce so damn famous?!
This video absolutely killed me. "I am worried about my grade" embodies the laziest students in college who come in to office hours on literally the last day to try to fix their failing grade. Ridiculous.
Why Young Americans Should Work Overseas- I keep reading articles like this and I'm often impressed by the facts laid out; the reasons are truly compelling. Honestly, this article exaggerates the dearth of opportunities in the US- it makes it seem like there are literally zero jobs out there for those with degrees in humanities, not true.
Ok, that's all I have right now. Enjoy!
